You've just got to give your body time to get used to your new exercise. Just go slow and make sure you're drinking plenty water, 2-3 litres per day and not just on run days. C25k is an amazing plan and really does work you'll get lots of encouragement and support on here good luck and we'll done 😊😊

Well done for getting started.

You have to let yourself get used to it and you will be fine.

Just keep going, you will see the changes in yourself as you run. 😊

Well done on getting started and like others have said drink plenty of water and go slow... I am training for the 🐌 olympics I think at the speed (or lack of) that I am going at but I am enjoying running so much more when I am not puffing, panting and gasping for air πŸ‘
